✅ Who is responsible for taking care of and serving elderly parents?

All children are very dear to their parents. But in old age, parents rely only on their sons. Because after marriage, daughters are busy with other people's household responsibilities. Therefore, they believe that sons will take care of their safety and service in old age.
Taking care of elderly parents is a social and legal responsibility of children. Not providing support to helpless parents or leaving them on the street is a punishable crime.
Serving them as long as they are alive and taking care of them as much as possible.

✅ What should be the attitude towards elderly parents in society?

The relationship between parents and children will be multifaceted. Parents will be friends, sympathizers, collaborators and teachers at the same time. An adult child also has to fulfill these roles.
The most beautiful, deep and selfless relationship in the world is the relationship between a child and his parents.

Attitude of a child towards elderly parents:

◑ Behaving nicely:

Behaving nicely with parents. It is not that we will not treat them well just because we are old.

◑ Listening:

Parents definitely want the best for us. So if parents tell us something, we should definitely listen to it and follow their advice.

◑ Expressing feelings:

Many parents cannot express their love to their children. On the other hand, children do not want to express their feelings due to fear or shame. Any kind of feeling should be expressed by parents to their children and children to their parents. If you love them, you should say it, if you are angry, you should say it, if you are in pain, you should say it. This will strengthen the relationship.

◑ Giving time:

Any relationship can be eroded due to lack of time. So, it is essential to make time even in the midst of a busy schedule. Time can be easily spent by eating together, going for walks, sitting on the balcony in a beautiful environment and talking, and checking up on each other when you get home. Even if you are far away, you need to keep in touch constantly.

✅ How can the dignity and security of elderly parents be ensured in society?

If we study well and become human beings, get a good job or progress in business, then the faces of our parents shine. Parents are very happy. This increases the status of our parents. When children behave politely and become human beings and worship Allah. Parents feel peace of mind seeing this. Moreover, when people around them praise their children, parents' faces shine and their status also increases.

Our parents are our responsibility. We have to take full responsibility for their safety. We have to behave well towards our elderly parents. We have to come forward in case of their danger. Be it my parents or someone else's parents, we should always keep the mindset of helping an elderly person. If someone is sick, we should take them to the hospital. We should try to help poor elderly parents with as much money as possible. If the elderly parents of a family do not have food, then of course every person should provide them with food. Arrange for their clothes, arrange for their treatment. If we as individuals take good steps ourselves, then a society and a country will go a long way and treat elderly parents with compassion.

✅ What steps should be taken to protect the mental and physical health of elderly parents?

☞ Some steps to protect the mental and physical health of parents:

◑ Stay happy:

We should always keep our elderly parents happy. We should always keep in mind what they like and what they dislike and behave accordingly.

◑ Take them for a walk:

Sometimes take them for a walk. Going for a walk refreshes the mind. So, they may like it if they take them for a walk somewhere nearby.

◑ Connect with others:

If they have a conversation with their old friends, it will be a very pleasant moment for them in old age.

◑ Prioritize sleep:

They should get enough sleep. Many people have sleep problems. If they do not get enough sleep, then they should take care so that they can sleep properly. The measures that should be taken for proper sleep should be taken.

◑ Arrange a balanced diet:

They should be provided with a balanced diet since their taste for food is less at this time. A guideline should be kept so that their body gets the right nutrition.

◑ Engage in hobbies:

Parents do not really want to spend much time in old age, so they can read books or spend time in flower gardens or vegetable gardens.

◑ Arrange for exercise:

There is no alternative to exercise to stay healthy. If we do light exercise, then we will definitely be able to stay physically fit. Those who have diabetes must make arrangements for them to walk.

◑ Nearby hospital:

Since parents are very sick in old age. So if there is a hospital nearby, they can be taken there quickly.

Parents are involved in our lives. Their good and bad, their suffering, everything is related to us. We will all try to keep our parents well, give them the right status, give them security. They need to be supported mentally.
